The first step in managing migraine is to know if you are actually suffering from it. If you suffer from a headache which occurs periodically, along with vomiting or just its sensation and to resolve it requires either a pain killer, ice pack or a nap, then it might be a migraine. Keeping a record of headache frequency, what brings it on, for how long does it stay and any associated symptoms like photophobia, muscle weakness, ear ache or dizziness will be an additional help for the diagnosis.
It is completely manageable disease where we deal with how to manage the attacks, reduce its frequency and how to prevent the attacks. You don’t have to suffer alone by just taking regular pain killers or shutting yourself in dark room every now and then.
